Have you swapped your MSI 7950?

Gregster, I fully agree with you, but due to the current exchange rate and delivery fee it's much more expensive for me to buy at OCUK :(

I have trust messaged ScottiB and hope he can provide assistance for me as well. I have already contacted MSI techsupport a few days ago and they also replied it's normal behavior. And as such, I can't RMA.

Ahh fair point. I would change the thermal compound bud and ScottiB will let you know the warranty situation :)

The right to return the product apparantly only applies if the product is returned in an unused state, which I already suspected. :(

This is absolutely not true for items purchased online. I understand you bought the product from them online, therefore the Distance Selling Regulations will apply. Your only obligation in this respect is only to take reasonable care of the goods - see Office of Fair Trading guidance here: http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/di...or-customers/DSforcustomers_rightsbuying1.pdf

You can see the legislation itself here if you are interested: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2000/2334/pdfs/uksi_20002334_en.pdf
 
Are these cards safe to order now e.g. Is this problem now fixed and do ocuk now have a new batch of non faulty cards?(I already had two out of the faulty batch which I had to return due to noise/heat/artificing)
Or is it still a stay away and get either a wf or iceQ card?

Even what MSI says not fault is like a refrence card temps...
I would go for gigabyte or his.

IMO His iceq £= Performance ratio best :D

Stay away, get the WF3 7950, beast of a card, dont listen to IC3 and tommybhoy they must have shares in HIS, just kidding guys! LoL.:D
 
Was going to order one of these today, but if there is still a chance i will get a duff card i dont think i will unless ocuk can test the card for me before shipping it.

Nope I dont work for any manufactures...
HIS and Gigabyte are good cards, gigabyte is a worse clocker in vram and his has 7970 pcb which is a good thing.
Both are great cards go for the cheaper card.

ScottiB, I know you suppose to say that MSI is best and that your 7950 is best overclocker but seriously it is a lie when it says on the package that its 17c cooler and quieter when its not...I mean the none faulty cards. The temps are same as on 7950 refrence card...

Chris you are making the classic mistake when upgrading, scared to buy in case there is a better deal tomorrow. There is always a better deal you big woos!:p

It's okay rolypolyman I'm buying the his just waiting for it to come into stock now it's time for action! I was originally going to get this card before I changed and had the problems with the Msi it's a sighn... (A good one I hope!:D)
 
Are either of these cards (gigabyte wf3 7950 + his ice Q 7950) voltage locked?
As I will be overclocking and want to get some decent clocks.
